Description: South Sudan has an installed capacity of 22 MW in three isolated distribution networks (major commercial centers) totaling 15 km in length. In FY2011, 22,000 customers (less than 1% of population) consumed about 70 GWh of energy (per capita consumption of about 10 kWh). Currently, electricity generation is thermal based (diesel, heavy fuel oil) which is very expensive (average generation cost is about US$ 0.70/kWh).
